The performance numbers presented here have been obtained under very specific controlled conditions. The configurations

-

and traffic profiles used were chosen to maximize the performance outcome for the given test. Customer environments where configuration combinations and traffic profiles are much more complex may not produce the same results.

-

In order to obtain performance numbers specific to a particular customer, testing with that customer’s feature combination and traffic profile is strongly recommended before any commitment on ACE performance is made to the customer. If there are any questions or concerns related to ACE performance, please contact your Cisco account team for guidance.

The scalability numbers provided here are meant to provide guidelines related to configuration scalability. The scalability numbers, however, are based on basic configurations. In order to obtain scalability numbers specific to a particular customer, testing with that customer’s feature combination is strongly recommended before any commitment on ACE performance is made to the customer. If there are any questions or concerns related to ACE performance, please contact your Cisco account team for guidance.
